Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Royal Antwerp FC launch into their encounter with Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
  • 5' Oud-Heverlee Leuven come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Samuel Vines made 275 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Royal Antwerp FC and Oud-Heverlee Leuven are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 24' Controversy at the stadium! Radja Nainggolan argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 29' Kristiyan Malinov catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 29.
  • 34' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 38' Goal! Radja Nainggolan scores his 22 goal in 485 matches.
  • 40' What composure from Michael Frey! The Switzerland international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Royal Antwerp FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 50' Royal Antwerp FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 55' Brilliant from the ! Louis Patris makes it 2-1 with a superb finish on 55.
  • 58' The Oud-Heverlee Leuven bench stirs into life. Kristiyan Malinov is withdrawn and Hamza Mendyl gets his opportunity.
  • 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Mathieu Maertens suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 71' GOAL! Michel-Ange Balikwisha fires home to make it 3-1!

  • 88' Viktor Fischer gets the nod from Royal Antwerp FC. He replaces Michel-Ange Balikwisha and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 89' Fresh legs for Oud-Heverlee Leuven! Pierre-Yves Ngawa comes on to replace Dylan Ouedraogo.
  • 90' Alhassan Yusuf picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
